Chapter 135: The Fierce Sand Escort Bureau Has Only Two Masters

Fu Lin looked at the tall figure at the doorway, didn't address him, just lowered himself and felt the money bag hanging at his waist.

Tuo Zong also stayed silent, Hu Biao watched as Xiong Kui, who was standing behind the other to support Jia Jian, walked into the room, and his face instantly darkened.

Tsk! Big dumb bear.

This is Jia Jian's most loyal beast, its Beast Form a five‑meter‑tall brown bear, its strength not weaker than the three chiefs present.

If Jia Jian has long held a place in Kuangsha City, Xiong Kui is the second reason.

Xiong Kui clearly has the ability, yet it is unclear why he submits beneath Jia Jian.

Food? Money? Females?

If one replaces Jia Jian as the leader of the Central City District, what else could be lacking?

Tuo Zong doesn't understand the fool's mind; seeing Xiong Kui enter the room, the other two chiefs, being very scheming, certainly wouldn't start a conflict, and staying any longer would be pointless.

Unity is something that cannot be united at all.

He stood up, irritated, saying: "I'm out, no spirit."

The other two thought the same, and also stood up and left together.

The room became empty, the terrifying wild ferocity that had filled it vanished instantly, easing the pale‑faced Jia Jian a bit.

Jia Jian regretted having let these three bandits into the room, a bunch of bandits who only know violence!

Fortunately, the three chiefs were not wrong; no matter what the Xicheng chief does, in the end they cannot surpass his commercial empire.

As long as food is in one's own hands, the leaders of Kuangsha City won't dare to act against me.

Jia Jian thought with relief, relaxed, that.

………

Xicheng Qu.

Lin Manzhi and Mo Lie sat again in a private room on the second floor of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau; looking out the window at the dense queue of people below, they were in a great mood.

After ten days since the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau opened, Lin Manzhi thought she could come to assess its situation, and early in the morning she brought Mo Lie over here.

Fierce Iron's eyes were full of joy, speaking rapidly: "These days the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau has made a name throughout Kuangsha City; every day large numbers of clients come to the bureau to sign bone‑talisman contracts."

Lin Manzhi lowered her head, carefully scanning the ledgers of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau from these days, listening as Fierce Iron continued:

"Every day the line of Beastfolk at the shop entrance, from when the bureau first opened almost all were fake customers arranged by us, to now it's almost all genuine customers."

Lin Manzhi took a moment from the ledgers, lifted her eyes and affirmed, looking at Fierce Iron: "The business of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau is better than I imagined; you are very capable."

Fierce Iron, after listening, immediately looked at Mo Lie, and for the first time a self‑satisfied expression appeared on his face as he said: "The two hundred escort masters you newly assigned to me, I have already trained; I guarantee they meet the professional escort master standards set by Wooden Female. Our Fierce Sand Escort Bureau now has three hundred escort masters, and each currently has a mission, hehe… The Beast Coins we will earn from now on will certainly satisfy you, my leader."

Mo Lie sat at the table, his eyes hanging indifferently.

In his hand he also held the ledgers of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau for this period; in just ten days the bureau earned over three million Beast Coins.

Mo Lie couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows, rarely letting a hint of good mood show on his handsome face.

All of this is thanks to Little Female.

Fierce Iron, waiting for the leader's praise, heard the silence in the air and thought to step forward and show off, hoping to snatch the Chief Escort Head position.

He looked up at Lin Manzhi.

Lin Manzhi: "?"

She looked at the accounts in her hand; during the escort masters' guard duty, accommodation is included, and it's not yet time to pay wages.

Given that a month here has fifty days, this three million Beast Coins can be considered pure profit, and more will be earned in the future.

Lin Manzhi's hand brushed inside the leather bag at her waist, then drew out three gold coins the size of a coin: "Oh, you all have worked hard these days; take this money and give the escort masters in the bureau an extra meal tonight."

"Thanks to Wooden Female!" Fierce Iron's eyes lit up, reaching out to take the gold coins and holding them in his palm.

He couldn't help but, somewhat smug, speak again to claim credit: "Leader, the tasks you assigned, I have completed excellently; I am also familiar with all matters of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau. Do you think I should become the Chief Escort Head—"

Mo Lie: "Hmm?"

He lifted his gaze at Fierce Iron, coldly saying: "I think if it weren't for her arrangement, I wouldn't have performed so excellently."

Mo Lie set down the ledger he was holding, his fingers tapping a soft "thud thud" on it: "Your performance these past days has indeed been good, but matters of the bureau's staffing are not for you to speak about."

"…Yes, yes." Fierce Iron clenched a handful of sweat, the joy on his face completely fading.

These days he has been staying by Lin Manzhi's side, and the Mo Lie he sees is also cold and harmless.

This made him become a bit arrogant and overconfident, watching the deals in the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau all day, feeling like he's soaring.

All of this is thanks to his own management! He earns more than when he ran the Iron Claw Gang, and his subordinates are much stronger.

Now facing Mo Lie, the petty ambitions in his heart for power are exposed, causing Fierce Iron to recall who the real boss here is.

These days have been truly good; he eats meat to his fill and gets a cup of water daily, all because he has the right new leader, and he must not let his inflated mindset return to the days of starving!

Fierce Iron lowered his head very low, looking like a loyal subordinate.

"Out." Mo Lie slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Yes, I will go attend to it now…" Fierce Iron's attitude was as proper as possible, exiting the room and closing the door.

Lin Manzhi sat beside, her gaze lingering a moment on the closed door.

She didn't expect that Fierce Cat had been looking at her earlier, meaning he wanted her to speak on his behalf.

She can influence Mo Lie's decision.

But in her mind, the Chief Escort Head of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau can only be Mo Lie; how could she help someone else share his authority?

Looking at the closed wooden door not far away, Mo Lie turned his head, raised his clear blue eyes toward Lin Manzhi beside him, and said:

"The Fierce Sand Escort Bureau's clients are increasing, Fierce Iron as a Deputy Escort Head is overwhelmed; I want to add a second team led by a Deputy Escort Head."

Lin Manzhi also set down the ledger, propping her chin, her dark eyes looking at Mo Lie, nodding: "Great! Neither you nor I have stepped forward; having two Deputy Escort Heads can bring healthy competition and prevent, over time, Fierce Iron from becoming dominant alone in the bureau and forgetting who the true master of the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau is."

I don't want to make a wedding dress for anyone else.

Mo Lie seemed to have anticipated that the other would stand on his side; his deep brows and eyes focused on Lin Manzhi, his tone rising at the end: "Indeed, I am soulmates with Zhi Zhi; the Fierce Sand Escort Bureau has only two masters, the other is you."
